Long-standing experience in theory and practice

The members of the Foundation Board possess many years of experience within the foundation system. They have been personally in charge of, continue to manage, or act as consultants on behalf of prestigious Swiss foundations.

Furthermore, the foundation board and office regularly publish articles and books on topics of relevance to the foundation system. This includes the revised version of the "Swiss Foundation Code", which quickly became a standard reference book following publication in 2015. It contains practically-minded governance guidelines on the topics of establishing, organising, managing and overseeing foundations alongside other sections on foundation activities and financial and investment policies. It is today an indispensable source of orientation within the contemporary and professional management of charitable foundations.

FdF also applies a system of know-how pooling to draw on expertise and experience for the competent and efficient solution of issues relating to foundation strategies, legal concerns, and financial aspects.
